Urge the Trump admin to deschedule marijuana—and tell Congress to act.

The MORE Act would end federal criminalization, expunge past convictions, restore benefits, reinvest in communities, and improve consumer safety.

Tell Congress: pass the MORE Act. engage.drugpolicy.org/secure/tell-...

Real marijuana reform means ending federal criminalization and building a system based on health, safety, justice, and community investment.

Rescheduling can’t do that.

Descheduling—paired with Congressional action—can.

Rescheduling would acknowledge marijuana’s medical value. It could also lift some research restrictions and boost corporate profits.

Yet, arrests, housing/job barriers & gaps in safety, labeling, and worker protections would remain.

Fentanyl is a real crisis. We need solutions that reduce demand and save lives—not warmongering or international conflict.

To save lives from fentanyl, the U.S. government should focus on reducing demand:

-Expanding addiction treatment
-Investing in overdose prevention programs
-Guaranteeing access to healthcare

Declaring fentanyl a “weapon of mass destruction” puts Americans’ safety at risk.

-May be used to expand military aggression abroad, increasing the risk of conflict with other countries
-Weakens national security and diverts resources from actual mass destruction threats, like nuclear attack

Federal law already punishes fentanyl offenses severely.

-Manufacturing or distributing less than 40 grams of fentanyl is already punishable by up to 20 years in prison
-This EO could justify even harsher penalties, including life sentences and death penalty for people struggling with addiction

At the same time they’re declaring fentanyl a “weapon”, the federal government is cutting funding for addiction treatment & overdose prevention.

Medicaid, the largest source of addiction treatment funding, is being slashed by nearly $1 trillion

Overdose prevention programs are being affected

Proven solutions to fentanyl save lives.

-Addiction treatment, including medications for opioid use disorder
-Naloxone access
-Overdose prevention programs

Fact: Overdose deaths dropped nearly 27% in 2024, largely due to these interventions

Fentanyl is a real crisis. This EO makes it worse & ignores proven solutions.

-Expands criminal penalties
-Fails to invest in addiction treatment or overdose prevention programs
-Could result in people struggling with addiction receiving life sentences or the death penalty

On Dec 15, 2025, President Trump declared fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction (WMD).

The EO expands criminal penalties and asserts wartime powers that the Executive does not actually hold—and includes no new funding for addiction treatment or overdose prevention.

Tell Congress: Fund live-saving health services. Stop killing people. engage.drugpolicy.org/secure/fund-...

We need to fund care, not killings:

-Fully fund Medicaid and access to treatment
-Restore overdose prevention funding
-Invest in evidence-based drug research
-Stop killing people
